Some team stats (just points played, does not include multiple turn points)
Jam (3-8; 7-15): O 1st half: 3-7, 2nd half 4-7, 7-14; D 1st half 0-4 no ds, 2nd half 0-4 at least 6 ds, 0-8
Pike (8-7; 15-13): O 1st half: 7-8, 2nd half 4-6, 11-14; D 1st half 1-7, 2nd half 3-7, 4-14
[Note, I do not believe there was ever more than 2 turns on a point the whole game. In the 2nd half, I believe we converted every turn we got. At best, we forced 4 turns. Definitely under 15 turns the whole game.
VC (8-7; 15-11): O 1st half: 7-8, 2nd half 4-4, 11-12; D 1st half 1-7, 2nd half 3-7, 4-14
Bravo (8-7; 9-15): O 1st half: 7-8, 2nd half 1-7, 8-15; D 1st half 1-7, 2nd half 0-2, 1-9
[Note, first half very ugly by both teams, greater than 20 turns in the first half. 2nd half very clean by Bravo, not so much by us]
Potomac (8-7, 15-11): O 1st half: 6-7, 2nd half 4-5, 10-12; D 1st half 2-8, 2nd half 3-6, 5-14
George (7-8, 15-16): O 1st half: 6-7, 2nd half 6-8, 12-15; D 1st half 1-8, 2nd half 2-8, 3-16
[Note, definitely no more than 2 turns total in a given point. Also, the d was, I believe 3-7 in total conversions, meaning 7 total d, their d was roughly 3-6, maybe 7]
Total O 1st half 36-45 (80%), 2nd half 23-37 (62%) , 59-82 (72%); D 1st half 6-41 (15%), 2nd half 11-34 (32%), 17-75 (23%)

Interesting, almost twice as many breaks in the 2nd half as the 1st (25-15) (explanations?). Overall average break rate of about 25%. Total breaks by game: 7, 7, 5, 9, 7, 6.
I noticed that also, I guess I could give a couple of reasons.
Halftime adjustments? Of those 6 teams, we had only seen 3 before (Pike in June, Bravo in Aug., Potomac in Sep). So maybe it took both teams a little more time to adjust.
Lack of experience in big games? More for us. Did not see any of the west coast and only colorado had any of the top 5 there.
Lack of experience together? We basically played 10 guys on O. 4 returned from last year's o squad (of those 4, I played more d and Winey only played in the 1st game). 3 were from the d squad from last year. 3 were new to the team. D is similiar returner/newbie wise, but with a 13-14 guy rotation most of the time.
Youth? Of those 10 O guys, I am 2nd oldest at 28. With most of everyone 26 or younger. Plus, ultimate experience is not dog-like. D had some more vets, 4 guys of 30+, but again majority of the d team 26 and under.
Skills? Mainly for the D team, against Bravo, we were something like 1-13 with the disc. Most of the turns were open drops or poor throws. Same thing for the Potomac game.
First, your team had a drop similar in level to your opponents', so I wouldn't blame it on anything particular to your team's makeup.
I can see lack of familiarity being a reason. If you don't know a team, you might assume that all of them can hurt you and so you give up easy goals until you know what to take away. The O probably doesn't adjust to individual defensive play that much, only to weird team strategies.
How about fatigue? Is there any reason to suspect that the O should suffer more from getting tired? I can see decision-making suffering from fatigue, but the throws and cuts should be ok, at least as much as the defensive legs.
